BAG PACKING FOR ETHIOPIA DEAF PROJECT
As many of you know, a group of Irish Deaf people, two hearing siblings from
a Deaf family and Fr. Stephen Monaghan flew out to Ethiopia in 2010. This
was part of a Deaf project that hopes to build a Deaf Centre in Ambo. Land
is currently being secured for the project. Once compensation has been
agreed and paid for, an application will be submitted for overseas aid. If
successful, plans to build a Centre will be lodged with the local Council in
Ethiopia.

To raise extra funds for the project, a number of bag packing dates have
been organised in Tesco’s in Douglas Shopping Centre Cork.

Volunteers are needed on the 10th and 11th of February from 11am to 9pm.
Also on the 12th of February from 11am to 6pm.

If you are available, please let us know and we will contact the organisers
on your behalf.
